Dylan Marlais Thomas was a Welsh poet. In addition to poetry he wrote short stories, and scripts for film and radio which he often performed himself. His public readings, particularly in America, won him great acclaim; his booming, at times ostentatious, voice with a subtle Welsh lilt, became almost as famous as his works. His best known works include Under Milk Wood and Do not go gentle into that good night, a poem written in 1951 about his dying father.
